The official video game of the Games of the XXVII Olympiad held in 2000 in Sydney features 32 nations competing in 12 events across six sports: Athletics, Aquatics, Kayak K1 Slalom, Super Heavyweight Weight Lifting, Skeet Shooting, and Three-man track cycling pursuit. All events showcase 3D graphics with cameras mimicking those used in TV broadcasts.
Gameplay involves typical button-mashing action found in sports games - pressing the two power buttons to build up strength or speed, with an additional third button setting actions like jumping or throwing angles. Alternate control methods are also present, such as Slalom (using specific button presses to dodge obstacles), Diving (following a "click-along" sequence of keys), and Skeet (controlling aim with direction keys).
The Olympic mode allows players to create their athlete from the national open trials to the Olympics. By completing training drills in the Cyber Gym, the athlete's abilities increase, reflecting the Olympic Motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius . Before joining competitions, players must beat national, continental, and international opponents.
